The cats passed the flat (isoelectric) EEG line, which is associated with silence in the cortex (the governing part of the brain). The team observed cerebral activity in 100% of the cats in deep ...

Panel B shows the EEG patterns during the states of general anesthesia: paradoxical excitation, phases 1 and 2, burst suppression, and the isoelectric tracing. Panel C shows the EEG patterns ...

In cases of very deep comas, an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor will render a flat line (also called an isoelectric line), marking a state in which the brain’s electrical activity has either ...

When the brain is starved of blood flow (ischemia) and oxygen (anoxia), the patient faints in a fraction of a minute and his or her electroencephalogram, or EEG, becomes isoelectric—in other ...

Both children had intraoperative complications with isoelectric EEG >100 s during normothermia. One child (36) died after 14 d. The other one (16) showed distinct neurologic symptoms that ...

What is fascinating, though, is that some people who have had a NDE have an isoelectric EEG. How could the person still have been experiencing consciousness? What is even more profound is the ...

Electroencephalography (EEG)-guided management of general anesthesia ... in children," wrote Nagasaka and colleagues. "However, isoelectric encephalographic events, associated with excessive ...

Loss of posture without righting attempt, as the last behavioral state observed during euthanasia, preceded the onset of transitional EEG on average by 0.9 and 3.1 min (for CO2 and N2O treatments, ...

For example, in a patient with post-traumatic bulbar brain syndrome that is developing towards complete loss of cerebral function, diagnosis-based imaging, an isoelectric EEG, missing early SEP ...
